...considered a lifestyle? I noticed that not only does wikipedia have them marked like that, but most people consider veganism a lifestyle choice and vegetarianism just a dietary choice.
Is there any distinction, or is this a matter of diction?
 
Because that's what they are. Vegetarianism only governs what you eat, veganism is an attempt to remove all animal products from your life.
 
vegetarianism is when you just don't eat meat

true veganism has people not eat or use and animal products, cutting out eggs, milk, leather, wool, etc.
